Steven van Broeckhoven

Steven van Broeckhoven wins his third event in a row

 

High wind freestyle at its best on the final day of the Palekastro Freestyle 2009! Crete delivered excellent conditions throughout the 3 event days with 2 full double eliminations completed and Steven van Broeckhoven winning the 3rd event in a row.

 

Although he had injured his eyebrow just before his entrance into the final heat, he managed to fill up his hat-trick. It was a very spectacular super final between the two times European Champion Andre Paskowski from Germany and the current tour leader Steven van Broeckhoven from Belgium.

 

The show was worth it with high level freestyle action on both sides. Steven was able to perfectly execute his new school power moves again and therefore gained victory of the second double elimination and also the overall event. After the heat Andre and Steven kept on sailing and pulling some moves together, before they got off the water and the winner was announced at the beach in front of the spectators. Everybody was stoked… what a great show here at Kouremenous beach in Crete!
